In the past year I have undergone many, many, changes. Both physically and personally. On March 29th of 2007 I underwent Gastric By-Pass Surgery. I currently weigh 240 down from an all time high of 477.

In January of this year I left an abusive situation of almost 12 years. It is a scarry thing to do, to leave your home with nothing other than what you have on your back. But I did it. I am now in a good relationship with a man who is amazing and for the first itme in years, I know what it is to be loved.

I believe that there is someone out there for everyone, you just have to never giv up.

You never know when love will come to you, or in the form it will come..keep your heart and mind open so that it will not pass you by.

What Gives Me Hope

Children

If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by

If I were President, one of the first things I would work on would be the homeless/ hungry situation in America. I would also work on some very strict laws that are accross the board in every state on how to sentence abusers.

What/who changed my life and why

The Passion of the Christ. Because before seeing it, I knew from a text book sense what a sacrifice Jesus made for us. But seeing it up close and in technicolor just seemed to bring it all into perspective for me. I seemed to get it then that Jesus felt the pain and misery of each and every person. That he CHOOSE to take that on for himself.
